To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, CHAUNCEY D. Woon- RUFF, ofthe city of Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, haveinvented a new and Improved Mode of Suspending and FasteningEaves-Troughs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a fullv andexact description.

The nature of the invention consists in the Inode of suspending andfastening the eaves trough to the roof and permits the eaves trough tobe elevated or depressed at pleasure at the same time holding itsecurely in the position it may be placed.

'Io enable others to make and use my invention I will proceed todescribe its construction and operation.

I construct-my eaves trough in the usual form, with a crossbar solderedto the trough at each end of the bar and of sufficient size and strengthto keep the trough in shape and sustain the weight of it as shown atletter C in the accompanying drawing. From this crossbar extends an ironrod with a screw cut on the lower end and bent to conform to the roof ofthe building, as is shown in the accompanying drawing and ,designated byletter A. f

Letters B, B, represent two nuts which are screwed onto the rod A, andused for elevating or lowering the trough and securing and holding itinits place. n'

Letter D represents an end view of the trough. The rod designated byletter A is flattened at the upper end and nailed to the roof of thebuilding.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The `mode of suspending and fastening eaves troughs as herein described.
